A game that started so well finished with a whimper from Swinford. Playing with a strong wind we scored a free and a goal within the first 8minutes to lead by 4. Darren Campbell scored the first point of the game and Ryan Convey finished off a good move with a well taken goal.

Killala got one point back before Kevin McDonagh scored a free to keep the lead at 4. Unfortutantely Killala scored 4 of the next 5 scores to leave Swinford leading by 1 at Half Time. The Swinford score coming from another free by Kevin McDonagh. The pick oft the Killala scores coming from a 45 by the very reliable Andrew Farrell just in the  half time whistle.

Needing a good start to the second half the opposite happened and Swinford were 3 behind after two minutes and things got worse as Killala scored 2-3 without Swinford troubling the umpires. Only for a great double save by Sean Kavanagh things could have been a lot worse. Pearse Walsh got our first score of the half after about 15 minutes but the onslaught from Killala keptcoming and after 20 minutes the score was Killala 3-10 Swinford 1-4.

Kevin McDonagh added a consolation free for Swinford before Killala finished the game with another 2 points. Save for poor shooting by Killala and great defence from Jason Carney the difference could have been a lot worse.

With Louisburgh and Kilfian drawing in the other game we must now defeat Kilfian inour last group game to avoid relegation.
